Before the Club World Cup… Karim Benzema ignores Ronaldo, the Saudi Al-Nasr star, in his dream squad

French star Karim Benzema, the prominent striker in the Jeddah club, revealed his preferred ideal squad, which included brilliant names in the world of football, most notably the famous Brazilian Ronaldinho, who excelled in the ranks of Barcelona previously.

In a tweet posted on the club’s official account on the social media platform “Twitter” on Sunday, Benzema appeared in a video clip in which he presented his list of the 11 best players in the history of the game, according to his own vision.

Benzema’s dream squad included prominent names such as German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer from Bayern Munich and the legendary Frenchman Zinedine Zidane, the former Real Madrid star.

The absence of the names of Portuguese players Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine Lionel Messi from the list caught attention, despite the successful partnership that brought together Benzema and Ronaldo for many years at Real Madrid, and their long friendship.

Benzema’s dream lineup

• Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer.
• Defense line: Dani Alves, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo.
• Midfield: Paul Pogba, Claude Makelele, Ronaldinho, Zinedine Zidane.
• Attacking line: Karim Benzema himself, along with Ronaldo D’Alema.

A group of sports analysts interacted with Benzema’s ideal lineup, with one of them saying, “Since Benzema came to Saudi Arabia, there has been enmity between him and Ronaldo,” and another said, “Ronaldo did not bless Karim Benzema with the Golden Ball, and for this reason he hates him.”
